Wang Teng thought the food he was preparing was just average.
However, he seemed to have overestimated Zeleâs cooking skills.
When Little Qingâer exclaimed that it smelled good, he felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
He could easily subdue Little Qingâer if she discovered anything. Dealing with such a young and delicate little girl wasnât hard.
However, when he saw her somewhat pale complexion and her bright, wide eyes, Wang Teng suddenly found it difficult to carry out such an action.
He shifted his gaze nervously and chuckled. âIs it? Daddy has been working hard to improve his cooking skills recently.â
âYes.â Little Qingâer didnât seem to suspect anything, nodding her little head continuously as she fixed her dark eyes on the food in front of her.
She was making her own calculations. Her fatherâs usual cooking was terrible. Since he finally made something delicious, she shouldnât discourage him.
âSuch a little foodie!â Wang Teng chuckled inwardly, feeling relieved.
Being a foodie was good.
Foodies were the easiest to fool.
After placing the prepared food on the table, Little Qingâer couldnât wait and climbed onto the table.
âEat up!â Wang Teng smiled.
As he watched the young snakegirl eat, he also kept sensing the space imprint he had left on Landon.
He felt relieved when he noticed that the mark didnât move.
âDelicious! Delicious!â Little Qingâer, despite her frail appearance, had a hearty appetite. She ate quickly and occasionally praised, âDaddy, your cooking has improved a lot! Keep up the good work!â
âGot it, got it!â Wang Teng shook his head with a wry smile. This little girl acted like a little adult. It was quite fun to interact with her.
This was probably their way of getting along.
After finishing the meal, Wang Teng thought for a moment. He wasnât in a hurry to act. Landon hadnât moved so there was no point in acting now.
Instead, he began to prepare medicine for Little Qingâer, aiming to alleviate her medical condition.
Wang Teng entered the room where Zele usually prepared medicines, and a strong herbal aroma hit him as soon as he opened the door.
As an alchemist, Wang Teng was intimately familiar with the scents of various herbs.
At this moment, he could easily identify the types of medicines Zele commonly concocted based on their fragrances.
The most prominent scent was that of Cloud Serpent Grass, which was likely used to prepare medicine for Little Qingâer.
Following the scent, Wang Teng reached at a shelf and picked up a jade bottle containing three dark pills.
He took out one of them and sniffed it, instantly recognizing the blend of various medicinal herbs.
Zele was indeed a master-level poison and medicine expert. His mastery of various plants was top-notch and his concoctions were remarkable.
However, in Wang Tengâs opinion, there were still many flaws.
If he were to use his alchemical skills to prepare this medicine, its quality and efficacy would be significantly superior than what Zele had produced.
But in front of Little Qingâer, it wasnât suitable to reveal such advanced techniques, lest she become suspicious.
Every time Zele prepared medicine, this little girl would watch closely. Wang Teng couldnât avoid her.
Wang Teng also examined some of the remaining medicinal residues left behind by Zeleâs unsuccessful attempts and sniffed them.
âWhat are you doing, Daddy?â Little Qingâer asked curiously, her eyes wide open.
âIâm reviewing the lessons from my failures,â Wang Teng replied with a faint smile.
âBut Daddy, didnât you review it a few days ago after you finished making it?â Little Qingâer asked.
âYou can never review too many times. Sometimes, unforeseen insights can emerge,â Wang Teng calmly replied.
âOh, let me have a look too,â Little Qingâer leaned closer, sniffing the medicinal residue in Wang Tengâs hand. The pungent odor seemed to irritate her, making her sneeze, and she wrinkled her brow, saying, âIt seems about the same.â
âHahahaâŠâ Wang Teng couldnât help but laugh. âIf you can tell the difference, youâll be a master.â
âHmph!â Little Qingâer huffed, feeling a bit defiant. She said, âOne day, Iâll become a master as powerful as Daddy.â
âThatâs a big ambition. Youâll have to work hard,â Wang Teng said as he ruffled her little head and chuckled.
âI will,â Little Qingâer said firmly, clenching her fist with determination.
Wang Teng smiled and then activated his Real Eye to examine Little Qingâerâs body. He wanted to know what was wrong with Little Qingâer.
What?
What he saw made him slightly surprised, even more so than he expected.
Little Qingâer harbored a tremendously potent energy deep within her body, quietly lurking but exceptionally peculiar and powerful. It even carried an unusual chill. It seemed that Little Qingâerâs body was weakened due to her inability to handle this energy.
Cloud Serpent Grass, with its mild properties, enhances the physique of snake-like creatures. Since the snakemen are considered snake-like creatures, gradually strengthening Qingâerâs physique with the medicinal power of Cloud Serpent Grass to counterbalance that overpowering energy doesnât seem like a bad idea. Wang Teng contemplated.
However, he was unsure about the nature of this energy.
Wang Teng had some doubts but hesitated to ask.
He thought for a moment and decided to use Zeleâs prescription to make the medicine for Little Qingâer.
With his expertise, crafting such a relatively simple medicine was a breeze, and he successfully produced it in no time, releasing a rich medicinal fragrance.
âDaddy, the Cloud Serpent tablets you made today are much better than before,â Little Qingâer cried in surprise.
